The popularity of the p90 has grown immensely in the last few years, probably due to West World favoring them as the fictional robo-ranger sidearm of choice. In my own lengthy search for a reliable semi auto defense weapon, I settled on either a p90 or AR10. Choosing the latter makes for a decidedly more interesting story, because the out of the box reliability of the p90 is pretty fucking boring unlike your story clammy which is pretty fucking interesting.

Also, curious you didn’t make mention of the getting harder to find proprietary FN red dot — I’ve used one and the system works wonderfully as a group. Anything larger than a micro red dot on the front end of the rifle makes it look ridiculous, which is why I ultimately ruled it out

Here is a link to a ps90 with FN branded sight produced by C-More sight systems. It’s housing is a lightweight polymer, so some folks feel it isn’t a durable option. I’d guess that a direct strike at an odd angle would screw up a lightweight aluminum housing equally so it’s a matter of preference since, to me at least, a miniature red dot is a miniature red dot. I’ve used the ps90 with the FN branded dot and hit overlapping rounds at 50 yds offhand so I know the damn thing works. I can’t attest to its durability but if formal militaries equip their soldiers with them, their protocols and armorers must feel their infantries suitably equipped for engagement.

As a lightweight battle rifle, the ps90 with open sights or red dot is sufficient for cqb up and out to intermediate distances <200m. For anything further out to 800m and for taking larger game than a varmint, I prefer my scoped AR10 in .308. Since I already have several reliable small caliber rifles, to add an additional small caliber rifle would have felt redundant...so I didn’t. But that’s not to say I won’t — to own all the guns is a pipe dream but I’m not ready to put the pipe down yet

wow

very interesting and nice shooting

i think the biggest reason they dont use an integral sight anymore is simply we have the expectation of customization and modularity nowadays

the g36 had a built in optic system that was very nice

but new ones have picatinny

i dont know much about c more but it sounds like it did fine for you
